<p>&#8220;This is a great opportunity for Unitholders to purchase Units of BTB at a time when our units are trading well below our net book value,&#8221; said Mr. Michel Léonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of BTB.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Plan</span></strong></p>
<p>To enroll in the Plan, beneficial Unitholders must contact their broker who is a CDS participant and who holds the Unitholder&#8217;s uncertificated Units. Registered Unitholders must contact Computershare Trust Company of Canada National Customer Contact Centre at 1-800-564-6253. Once enrolled, participation in the Plan will continue automatically unless terminated.</p>
<p>Unitholders wishing to acquire Units under the Plan in connection with the October 2011 distribution must enroll by October 24, 2011.</p>
<p>Plan Units will be issued directly from the treasury of BTB at a price based on the volume-weighted average of the trading prices for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the relevant distribution date, discounted by 5%.</p>
<p>BTB reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, but such action shall have no retroactive effect that would prejudice the interest of the Plan participants. All administrative costs associated with the operation of the Plan will be paid by BTB.</p>
<p>BTB has reserved for issuance with the TSX Venture Exchange 500,000 additional Units to accommodate the purchase of Units under the Plan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center">NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR</p>
<p align="center">DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Montréal, Québec (June 20, 2011): BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX-V: BTB.UN) (“<strong>BTB</strong>” or the “<strong>REIT</strong>”) announced today that it has reached an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by National Bank Financial Inc. and including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Dundee Securities Ltd., GMP Securities L.P. and HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc. to issue to the public, subject to regulatory approval, on a bought deal basis, $20.0 Million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due July 31, 2018 (the “Debentures”).  The REIT has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days after closing, to purchase up to an additional $3.0 Million principal amount of Debentures at the same offering price.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Debentures bear an interest rate of 7.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on January 31 and July 31 in each year commencing on January 31, 2012, and will mature on July 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”).  The Debentures will be convertible at the holder’s option into units of BTB (the “Units”) at any time prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date fixed for redemption at a conversion price of $1.22 per Unit (the “Conversion Price”), being a ratio of approximately 819.672 Units per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.  The Debentures will not be redeemable before July 31, 2014.  On and after July 31, 2014 and prior to July 31, 2016, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at BTB’s option provided that the volume weighted average trading price for the Units is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price.  On and after July 31, 2016 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at BTB’s option at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued interest. Subject to regulatory approval, BTB may satisfy its obligations to repay the principal amount of the Debentures on redemption or at maturity, in whole or in part, by delivering that number of Units equal to the amount due divided by 95% of the market price for the Units at that time, plus accrued interest in cash.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BTB intends to use the net proceeds from this offering (after deducting the Underwriters’ fee and offering expenses) to repay the Series A convertible debentures due October 2011 ($12.9 Million outstanding), to fund future property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The REIT will, by June 27, 2011, file with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada a preliminary short form prospectus relating to the issuance of the Debentures. Closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about July 13, 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montreal, Québec (April 29, 2011): The trustees of BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSXV: BTB.UN) (“BTB” or the “Trust”) release today the fiscal year end results for the period ended December 31, 2010 and the following highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>In March 2010, the Trust, by way of a public offering, took over Cagim Real Estate Corporation (“Cagim”). This acquisition contributed to the increase in operating revenues of the Trust by 12.6% and to the increase of net operating income by 8%. This acquisition increased BTB’s assets value by $49 million and added six properties to BTB’s portfolio.</li>
<li>Acquisition in November 2010 of a 50% interest (a portion it did not already own through the Cagim acquisition) in two properties which were owned by a third party. This acquisition added $10.85 million to BTB’s assets, increasing the total value to over $286 million as at December 31, 2010 (i.e. an increase in total value of 28.5%).</li>
<li>During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Trust saw a 4.8% growth in revenues and 2% growth in net operating income on the basis of the “same property portfolio” basis.</li>
<li>The occupancy rate of BTB’s portfolio decreased slightly from 90.5% in the third quarter to 90.0% in the fourth quarter of 2010 mainly due to a decrease of the occupancy rate of BTB’s office buildings.</li>
<li>Based on accepted offers to lease and the subsequent acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Phase 1 of Complexe Lebourgneuf in April 2011, the occupancy rate of the Complexe Lebourgneuf will rise to approximately 90% during the second quarter of 2011 (which occupancy rate for that building was 78% as at December 31, 2010).</li>
<li>The funds from operations (FFO) and the adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) decreased on an annual basis by 36% and 23% respectively, mainly caused by delays in leasing vacant spaces in the Cagim portfolio and of certain non-recurring expenses assumed by BTB to close on the Cagim acquisition and expenses incurred and related to the acquisition line of credit.</li>
<li>The payout ratio of distributions was 81% of BTB’s AFFO.</li>
<li>In November 2010, BTB’s raised funds through the issue of 18 million BTB units, at $0.67 per unit, generating net proceeds of $11.1 million.</li>
<li>As compared to the previous year’s end, the Trust saw a significant increase in cash and cash equivalent of $1.5 million.</li>
<li>Since the Trust reimbursed, during the first quarter of 2011, the total amount borrowed under the acquisition line of credit to complete the Cagim acquisition, the loan to value ratio of the portfolio (excluding debentures) which was 65.5% as at December 31, 2010, decreased to approximately 60.1% in the first quarter of 2011.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>SUBSEQUENT EVENTS </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>On January 11, 2011, public offering of $23 million in Series C 8% convertible debentures maturing on January 31, 2016, generating net proceeds of $21.4 million.</li>
<li>On January 12, 2011, reimbursement of $12.8 million of the acquisition line of credit.</li>
<li>On March 29, 2011, public offering of 22,367,300 units at $0.90 per unit, generating net proceeds of $18.8 million.</li>
<li>On March 30, 2011, reimbursement of the remaining balance of $10 million of the acquisition line of credit.</li>
<li>On April 4, 2011, acquisition of the remaining interest in &#8220;Complexe Lebourgneuf Phase I” in Québec City for a net cost of $7.0 million after mortgage assumption.</li>
</ul>
<p>“<em>2010 was an important year for BTB.  As a result of BTB’s acquisition of Cagim, the Fund has grown its assets by 28%. During the year, the Trust raised significant funds in the financial markets, thereby improving its capital structure and adding a significant amount of working capital. Although the acquisition of Cagim has not been accretive in 2010, we are confident that it will be accretive during the second quarter of 2011 and for the subsequent years.</em>” stated Michel Léonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of BTB.<em> </em><em></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center">NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO  UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Montreal, Quebec (December 14, 2010): BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX-V: BTB.UN) (“<strong>BTB</strong>” or the “<strong>REIT</strong>”) announced today that it has reached an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters co-led by National Bank Financial Inc. and Dundee Securities Corp. and including Canaccord Genuity Corp. and HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc. to issue to the public, subject to regulatory approval, on a bought deal basis, $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due January 31, 2016 (the “Debentures”). The REIT has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 30 days after closing, to purchase up to an additional $3.0 Million principal amount of Debentures at the same offering price.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Debentures bear an interest rate of 8.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on January 31 and July 31 in each year commencing on July 31, 2011, and will mature on January 31, 2016 (the &#8220;Maturity Date&#8221;). The Debentures will be convertible at the holder&#8217;s option into units of BTB (the &#8220;Units&#8221;) at any time prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date fixed for redemption at a conversion price of $1.00 per Unit (the &#8220;Conversion Price&#8221;), being a ratio of approximately 1,000.000 Units per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. The Debentures will not be redeemable before January 31, 2014. On and after January 31, 2014 and prior to January 31, 2015, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at BTB&#8217;s option provided that the volume weighted average trading price for the Units is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. On and after January 31, 2015 and prior to the Maturity Date, the Debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at BTB’s option at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued interest. Subject to regulatory approval, BTB may satisfy its obligation to repay the principal amount of the Debentures on redemption or at maturity, in whole or in part, by delivering that number of Units equal to the amount due divided by 95% of the market price for the Units at that time, plus accrued interest in cash.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BTB intends to use the net proceeds from this offering (after deducting the Underwriters’ fee and offering expenses) to pay down the outstanding debt under the REIT’s current acquisition credit facility, to fund future property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The REIT will, by December 20, 2010, file with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada a preliminary short form prospectus relating to the issuance of the Debentures. Closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about January 11, 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montreal, Québec (August 27, 2010) &#8211; The trustees of BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX-V: BTB.UN) (&#8220;BTB&#8221; or the &#8220;Trust&#8221;) announced today its second quarter financial results for the period ended June 30, 2010 and the following highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li>Closing of the acquisition of Cagim at a price of $1.05 per share, adding thereby more than 600,000 square feet of leasable area. The acquisition cost of the purchased shares total more than 21.5 million $ thus procuring high quality assets of more than 47 million $. BTB&#8217;s portfolio now consists of 49 properties representing 2,866,000 square feet of leasable area.</li>
<li>An 8.8% increase in revenues and a 4% increase in NOI in comparison to the second quarter of 2009 due to the acquisition of the Cagim portfolio (May 10 to June 30, 2010).</li>
<li>Increase in the occupancy rate of 3 out of 4 of the Trust&#8217;s real estate sectors. To the exception of the &#8216;office&#8217; sector, the occupancy rate of all of the 3 other sectors of the Trust increased slightly for the period ended June 30, 2010.</li>
<li>Increase of 4.1% of expired and renewed leases in the second quarter of 2010. Since the beginning of the second quarter the Trust has seen an average increase of 4.7% in renewed in-place leases which will enable it to ultimately increase its comparable real estate portfolio revenues.</li>
<li>Slight decrease of the Trust&#8217;s operation performance ratio for the period ended June 30, 2010 (Distributable income, FFO and AFFO) compared with that of the second quarter of 2009 due to a slight reduction in the overall rate of occupancy preceding Cagim&#8217;s portfolio acquisition (a $150,000 effect), the loss of revenues from one of its building under development since the beginning of 2010 (a $107,000 effect), and non recurring items (a $101,000 effect). On the basis of the signed leases for the building under development, with both Pharmaprix and Bank of Montreal, these will eventually generate quarterly revenues upwards of $165,000.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>&#8216;In the past several months, the Trustees invested most of their energy and efforts on the acquisition of the Cagim portfolio.  Even though Cagim&#8217;s contribution to BTB&#8217;s financial results will be minimal in 2010, we are utmost confident that in the course of the ensuing months the portfolio will definitely contribute to a significant increase of the Trust&#8217;s various performance indicators. The buildings which comprise the Cagim portfolio are concentrated in Quebec City&#8217;s most dynamic area, with a strong demand for tenant occupancy.&#8217; stated Mr. Michel Léonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of BTB.</em></p>

<ul>
<li>Slight increase in the occupancy rate compared to the first quarter of 2009 while the occupancy rate remained the same compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.</li>
<li>Excluding the operations of the property under development, the revenues from the same property portfolio were maintained (+0.4%).</li>
<li>Began the investments on the redevelopment of the property located at 3781 Des Sources Blvd. in order to accommodate during the second quarter of 2010 a Pharmaprix store of the Shoppers Drug Mart chain.</li>
<li>Average increase of 5.0% of expired and renewed leases in the first quarter of 2010.</li>
<li>Implementation of an acquisition line of credit in the amount of 25 million $ with Firm Capital Mortgage Fund Inc.</li>
<li>Closing of the acquisition of Cagim Real Estate Corporation (&#8220;Cagim&#8221;) at a price of $1.05 per share, adding thereby more than 600,000 square feet of leasable area.  The acquisition cost of the properties was 47.8 million $ and the value of the assumed hypothecs was 27 million $.  BTB&#8217;s portfolio is now composed of 49 properties and 2,872,000 square feet of leasable area.</li>
</ul>

<p><em>&#8220;The Trust aims to resume its growth by acquisitions.  It has set up an acquisition line of credit with Firm Capital Mortgage Fund Inc. that has allowed it to purchase Cagim, a corporation from Québec City holding $48 million in assets and 600,000 square feet of leasable area.  After this acquisition, the Trust now holds more than $280 million in assets and about three million square feet of leasable area.  Results have been stable and predictable for the first quarter.  The redevelopment of the Pharmaprix building is proceeding and our new client anticipates moving in on July 8, 2010&#8243;</em> stated Mr. Michel Léonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of BTB.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Montreal, Québec, May </strong><strong>10, 2010</strong> &#8211; BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (&#8220;BTB&#8221;) (TSX-V: BTB.UN) is pleased to announced that as of 5:00 p.m. (Montreal Time) on May 7, 2010, approximately 19,863,601 common shares of Cagim Real Estate Corporation (&#8220;Cagim&#8221;) (TSX-V: CIM) had been validly deposited to BTB&#8217;s offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Cagim (the &#8220;Common Shares&#8221;), and all the other conditions of BTB&#8217;s offer have been satisfied as of the date hereof. BTB has taken up and accepted for payment all such Common Shares, which represent approximately 97% of the Common Shares.</p>
<p>BTB offered to acquire all of the Common Shares for a consideration in cash of $1.05 per Common Share. The aggregate cash consideration being paid by BTB is approximately $20,856,782. Since BTB has been successful in acquiring more than 90% of the Common Shares under the offer, it intends to acquire all remaining Common Shares by compulsory acquisition under the <em>Canada</em><em> Business Corporations Act</em>. BTB intends to send a notice of compulsory acquisition to each shareholder of Cagim who has not accepted the offer as soon as practicable.</p>
<p>At the request of BTB, the trading of its listed securities has been halted by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada at 9:16 a.m. (Eastern time) on Monday, May 10, 2010 pending release of this press release.</p>
<p>The quality of Cagim&#8217;s real estate portfolio is impressive. Most of the properties are located in the Lebourgneuf suburb, a high growth area of Quebec City. Cagim&#8217;s portfolio consists of six buildings totaling more than 600,000 square feet. Cagim has a 50% interest in three of these buildings. Cagim&#8217;s real estate portfolio has been valued at approximately $48,000,000 by Altus. These buildings will provide positive cash flows to BTB and will increase its Net Operating Income.</p>
<p>BTB is an unincorporated open-ended real estate trust formed and governed under the laws of the Province of Quebec pursuant to a contract of trust. BTB will own following this acquisition 49 commercial and industrial properties in primary and secondary markets, for a total of 2.9 million square feet. BTB is now an important real estate owner in geographical markets east of Ottawa. BTB&#8217;s objectives are: (i) to generate cash distributions that are fiscally beneficial to unitholders; (ii) to grow its assets to increase distributable income and therefore fund distributions; and (iii) to optimize the value of its assets through dynamic management of its properties in order to maximize the long-term value of its units.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montreal, Québec (April 26, 2010): The trustees of BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX‑V: BTB.UN) (“BTB” or the “Trust”) announce today the 4<sup>th</sup> quarter financial and fiscal year end results for the period ended December 31, 2008 and the following highlights:</p>
<h1><span style="text-decoration: underline;">2009 </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A YEAR OF CONSOLIDATION</span></h1>
<ul>
<li>Stabilization of the financial position: first year since inception in which funds from operations (FFO) cover distributions</li>
<li>Increase of :   ▪  8.7% of the Operating Income<sup>(1)</sup></li>
</ul>
<p>▪  9,6% of the Net Operating Income (NOI)</p>
<p>▪  48% of the EBTD</p>
<p>▪  18% of the EBITDA</p>
<p>▪  24% of the FFO</p>
<ul>
<li>12% reduction of real estate management fees and administrative costs: $1.732M (2009) vs $1.963M (2008)
<ul>
<li>Renewal of important leases: ▪ Hydro-Québec (for 10 years – Complexe de Léry)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>▪ CSST (for 10 years – Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu)</p>
<p>▪ SIQ (for 5 years – Montréal)</p>
<ul>
<li>Redevelopment of an important space: lease of 18,000 to Pharmaprix – Shoppers Drug Mart (Dollard-des-Ormeaux)</li>
</ul>
<p><em>(1)  8.7% </em><em>increase in rental income form income producing building ($30,325M vs $27,906M)</em></p>
<p><strong>BTB READY FOR THE ECONOMIC REVIVAL</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Execution of a $25M acquisition credit line</li>
<li>Take-over bid on the shares of Cagim Real Estate Corporation, owner of $48M real estate portfolio and substantial liquidity</li>
</ul>
<p>With its growth being slowed down by the financial crisis, BTB Real Estate Investment Trust consolidated its activities in 2009 by internalizing most of its building management, thereby improving its operational ratios, providing a tighter control of its real estate operating expenses as well as lowering its administrative costs.  Funds from operations in 2009 have for the first time exceeded distributions paid to Unitholders, thereby preserving liquidity.</p>
<p>The Trust is also pleased to announced the renewal of the lease with Hydro-Québec in Trois-Rivières for 10 years, as well as the renewal of the leases with Société immobilière du Québec and other paragovernmental organizations.  Finally, the Trust commenced the redevelopment of a building in Montréal in order to welcome in June a Pharmaprix / Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;As was the case for many small REITs, the financial crisis has been a major obstacle to BTB&#8217;s development.  Throughout 2009, our efforts were dedicated to the stabilization of our financial position and to put BTB in a situation where it will benefit from the economic revival.  We now have many business opportunities, such as Cagim, and aim to achieve growth and efficiency as envisaged under our initial business plan&#8221;</em> stated Michel Léonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of BTB.</p>
<p>The Trust presents below the balance sheets as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the statements of income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These tables are extracted from the Audited Financial Statements and should be read together with the accompanying notes.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About BTB Real Estate Investment Trust </span></strong></p>
<p>BTB is a growth-oriented real estate investment trust listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Its objective is to provide unitholders with stable cash distributions from investments in a quality portfolio of long-term leased office, industrial, commercial and retail properties predominantly located in the province of Quebec. BTB is led by an experienced management team with in-depth experience in the real estate industry and a Board of Trustees focused on governance and sound business practices.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Montreal, Québec, March 26, 2010 – BTB Real Estate Investment Trust (&#8220;BTB&#8221;) (TSX-V: BTB.UN) announced today that it has entered into a definitive support agreement with Cagim Real Estate Corporation (&#8220;Cagim&#8221;) (TSX-V: CIM) that provides for an offer (the “Offer”) to be made by BTB, by way of a take-over bid, to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Cagim, for $1.05 per share in cash (the “Offer Price”). The Offer has the full support of the Board of Directors of Cagim.</p>
<p>The transaction, including the assumption of debt by BTB, values Cagim at approximately $21.5 million.  The all-cash Offer represents a premium of approximately 43% over the 20-day volume weighted average trading price for Cagim common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange through March 26, 2010 and of approximately 40% over the closing price on the last trading day prior to this announcement.</p>
<p>Shareholders owning approximately 40% of Cagim’s issued and outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis, including some Officers and Directors of Cagim, have entered into lock­up agreements supporting the Offer.</p>
<p>Cagim has a quality real estate portfolio, most of which is located in the Lebourgneuf district, an exiting area of Quebec City.  Cagim&#8217;s portfolio consists of six buildings totaling more than 600,000 square feet.  Cagim has a 50% interest in three of these buildings.  Cagim&#8217;s real estate portfolio has been valued at approximately $48,000,000 by Altus.  These buildings provide positive cash flows and will contribute to an increase of BTB&#8217;s Net Operating Income</p>
<p>Following this acquisition, BTB will own 49 buildings for a total of more than 2,900,000 square feet.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;We are delighted to have entered into an agreement with Cagim that will allow us to pursue our growth plan that was put on hold during the financial crisis that shocked the global capital markets at the end of 2008 and in 2009.  This acquisition will add six high quality buildings to our current portfolio of 43 buildings, thus increasing the value of our portfolio to approximately 280 million dollars and 2.9 million square feet.  This acquisition falls squarely within our plan resulting from the strategic planning of the Board of Trustees during the fall of 2009 and will allow for synergies and savings that will contribute to increase the financial performance of BTB&#8221; </em>has declared Mr. Michel Léonard, President and Chief Executive Officer of BTB.</p>
<p>Full details of the Offer will be included in the formal offer and take-over bid circular that is expected to be mailed to Cagim shareholders shortly. BTB’s take-over bid circular will be accompanied by a directors’ circular of Cagim, which will provide shareholders of Cagim with, among other things, the reasons for the recommendation of the Cagim Board of Directors that Cagim shareholders accept the Offer.  The Offer shall be valid for at least 35 days from its inception.</p>
<p>BTB’s obligation to acquire Cagim common shares pursuant to the offer is subject to certain conditions, including: (i) the valid deposit of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding Cagim common shares (on a fully-diluted basis); (ii) receipt of all required third-party approvals; (iii) the non-occurrence of a material adverse effect; and (iv) the completion by Cagim of a pre-closing asset reorganization.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the definitive support agreement, Cagim will pay a termination fee of $750,000, being less than 3.5% of the amount of the Offer, to BTB if the definitive support agreement is terminated in the event that Cagim accepts a superior proposal and in certain other circumstances.</p>
<p>Dundee Securities Corporation acted as financial advisor to BTB.</p>
